Terms of Use

1. Acceptance of these terms

By accessing or using any Meteoscience product — the Grid Dashboard, the S2S Energy Weather Widget, the Climate Risk Report Portal, or our mobile apps — you agree to these Terms of Use. If you don't agree, please don't use these products.

2. What we provide

• Grid Dashboard. An evaluation-tier dynamic line rating tool for transmission grid capacity analysis, provided as-is for demonstration and evaluation purposes.
• S2S Energy Weather Widget. An embeddable weather-forecast widget with a free tier (Baltic region, 14/35-day ensembles) and a paid licensed tier (multi-region, 90-day seasonal outlook), billed as a recurring subscription.
• Climate Risk Report Portal. A tool that generates physical climate risk reports for a submitted address or location, drawing on public reanalysis and climate-model data.
• LightningSentry. A mobile app that tracks real-time lightning strike activity from public satellite data (NOAA GOES GLM) and calculates your on-device distance from nearby strikes, with a free tier and a paid Pro tier (instant sound and background alerts), billed as a recurring subscription through the Apple App Store or Google Play.

3. Subscriptions and billing

The Widget's licensed tier is billed through Stripe on a recurring monthly or annual basis at the price shown at checkout, and automatically renews until cancelled. You can cancel or update your payment method at any time through the Customer Portal, accessible from "Manage subscription" inside the Widget. Fees are billed in advance and are non-refundable except as required by applicable law or at Meteoscience's discretion.

LightningSentry Pro is billed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, not Stripe, at the price and billing period (monthly or annual) shown at checkout in the app. Payment is charged to your Apple ID or Google Play account at confirmation of purchase. The subscription automatically renews for the same period unless you turn off auto-renewal at least 24 hours before the end of the current period; your account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, at the same price unless we notify you of a change in advance as required by the applicable store's policies. You can manage or cancel your subscription, and turn off auto-renewal, at any time in your Apple ID account settings or the Google Play app's Subscriptions page — we do not have the ability to cancel it for you, since Apple and Google hold the billing relationship directly. Any unused portion of a free trial, if offered, is forfeited once a paid subscription period begins. Refunds for App Store or Play Store purchases are handled by Apple or Google under their own refund policies, not by Meteoscience directly.

4. Acceptable use

You agree not to: resell, sublicense, or redistribute data obtained from these products outside the intended embedding and usage described in our documentation; attempt to circumvent access controls, rate limits, or licensing checks; scrape, reverse-engineer, or systematically extract data beyond normal use; or use an embed token or account other than your own.

5. Disclaimers

Our products describe forecast and historical weather conditions and physical climate exposure. They are not, and should not be used as:

• Investment advice, a trading recommendation, or a forecast of market prices.
• Engineering, insurance, or legal advice, or the sole basis for infrastructure siting, underwriting, or financial decisions.

Specific product disclaimers reinforce this: the S2S Widget states "Meteorological data only — this widget describes forecast weather conditions. It is not investment advice, a trading recommendation, or a forecast of market prices." The Report Portal states "This report is for informational purposes only. It does not constitute engineering, investment, insurance, or legal advice, and should not be used as the sole basis for infrastructure siting, underwriting, or financial decisions." Both apply in full here.

LightningSentry is not a substitute for official severe weather guidance or your own judgment during a storm. It reports lightning activity sourced from public satellite data (NOAA's GOES Geostationary Lightning Mapper), which can have gaps, delays, or coverage limits, and is not a certified life-safety or emergency-warning system. Follow official guidance from your local weather authority — as a general rule, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to be struck and should move to a safe, fully-enclosed shelter immediately, regardless of what the app shows. Do not rely on LightningSentry as your sole means of deciding when it's safe to be outdoors.

6. Intellectual property

Meteoscience owns all rights in its products, branding, the Huuhkaja forecasting engine, and underlying software. You retain ownership of the reports and outputs generated for your own use, subject to the underlying public-data licensing terms of the sources we draw on (e.g. Open-Meteo, ERA5).

7. Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Meteoscience is not liable for indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of these products. Our total liability for any claim is limited to the fees you paid us in the 12 months preceding the claim.

8. Termination

We may suspend or terminate access for breach of these terms. You may stop using our free products, or cancel a paid subscription, at any time.

9. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of Estonia, and any dispute not resolved informally will be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of Estonia.

10. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms as our products or obligations change; we'll update the "Last updated" date above when we do.
